I have a Dodge stratus 2004 coupe vin G
replaced heater core, a/c evaporator, radiator, thermostat,
(also starter, tie-rods, ball joints, nice tires, ((struts all the way around complements of Michigan Veterans Trust fund,) disc and drum and there breaks, battery,) so you see I am trying to keep car running, it cost.


I been trying to figure just how this forum works, not much luck, don't even see posting 8/20?, so I hope to see this work or like so many others this forum will go to the way side.


I could use some help, will take are to dealer and have them look at flow box, but am asking what do you guy's think?

 

where is all the car buff's, been waiting...
dealer wanted 1800.00 to remove dash, replace heater core ($385.00) 900.00 labor and replace box unit in car $586.00, what my friend Nick said, "Take are to car wash, remove hoses to heater core and spray it out.


Yes, it worked.. the key was when the dealer said, there was dirt in the coolant.


In process of flushing the ENGINE not the radiator (uncle Ed's did for $87.00...
I miss understood between the type of flushes, would think 87.00 would be the whole engine.

 

now I find out the engine might be boiling the ant-freeze, I replaced the lower hose it had brown stuff along the walks????? anyone out there

 

How many miles? Sounds like the cooling system isnt flowing efficiently. Water pump fins may be wore out, thermostat may not be working right, heater core may be blocked. (Not sure if you had that replaced, your two posts are conflicting).

Here is a great how-to. http://www.club3g.com/forum/maintena...ater-core.html
